Kendo Tare (Protective Skirt) - Hand-stitched, 1-bu (1/4 inch) stitching, Size L, from Kokuryo. This is a rare, hand-stitched, 1-bu stitched tare. I purchased it about 15 years ago and used it for matches and practice, but haven't used it in recent years. There is some fraying on the strings, but it doesn't affect use. I remember it was an expensive item, costing over 200,000 yen when I bought it. I am selling it as part of a decluttering effort. It is still usable. Please take this opportunity to try a hand-stitched 1-bu tare. There is a name embroidered on it.
